His name was Mephibosheth.2 Samuel 9:6 · מְפִיבֹ֨שֶׁת · מְפִיבֹ֔שֶׁתAnd when Mephibosheth son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, came to David, he fell facedown in reverence. Then David said, “Mephibosheth!” “I am your servant,” he replied.2 Samuel 9:10 · וּמְפִיבֹ֙שֶׁת֙You and your sons and servants are to work the ground for him and bring in the harvest, so that your master’s grandson may have food to eat. But Mephibosheth, your master’s grandson, is always to eat at my table.” Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.2 Samuel 9:11 · וּמְפִיבֹ֗שֶׁתAnd Ziba said to the king, “Your servant will do all that my lord the king has commanded.” So Mephibosheth ate at David’s table like one of the king’s own sons.2 Samuel 9:12 · וְלִמְפִיבֹ֥שֶׁת · לִמְפִיבֹֽשֶׁת׃And Mephibosheth had a young son named Mica, and all who dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants of Mephibosheth.2 Samuel 9:13 · וּמְפִיבֹ֗שֶׁתSo Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem, because he always ate at the king’s table, and he was lame in both feet.2 Samuel 16:1 · מְפִי־ · בֹ֖שֶׁתWhen David had gone a little beyond the summit, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth was there to meet him.
